wah your memory really good lah, ESPN should get you in. england was very strong then. got clemence, hoddle, butcher, paul mariner and trevor francis somemore. they were overwhelming favourites to beat the likes of france. but of course, platini and tigana worked so hard to bring them thru to the semis.
the players i named were the stars that represented each country. i am talking about the posters and cards that served as advertisement. i forgot who was italy's biggest star then, definitely not rossi. he came to life only during that fateful 3-2 match against mighty brazil.
